Earlier this week, Amazon and Walmart dropped a limited-time deal on the new Lego board game, and now that deal is even better. The family-friendly strategy game Lego Monkey Palace is on sale for only $25.56, which is over 35% off its $40 list price. Considering the retailer says it has sold over 10,000 copies of Monkey Palace over the past month, we wouldn’t be surprised if it sold out soon. The Lego Store recently sold through its stock at full price.
Monkey Palace Lego Strategy Board Game
$26 (was $40)
Monkey Palace turns building Lego into a fast-paced and varied strategy game for 2-4 players. It isn’t the first officially licensed Lego board game, but it is the only one still in print at the moment. Older Lego board games tend to sell for rather high prices, so it’d be wise to add Monkey Palace to your collection sooner rather than later.
What happens when a monkey stumbles upon an ancient palace in the jungle but decides to redecorate their new home? The entire place collapses, of course, so now you and up to three other players need to rebuild the structure from scratch.
To help the monkey live large again, humans take turns adding Lego pieces to makeshift staircases. Each piece is worth a certain number of Monkey Credits, which are exchanged for Monkey Cards. The Monkey Card you choose to play determines which brick type(s) you use to make and decorate the staircases. As you build, you rack up Banana Points, which are counted at the end of the game to determine the winner. Games last roughly 45 minutes.
